Jonathan Douglas

J.D. was born October 2nd at 7:13 pm at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange He weighed 8.5 pounds Was 19.5 inches long. Due to his size Edith had to have a c-section. She is slowly recovering, in some pain but not anything beyond what would be expected.

The worse part is that we went in Monday Night and took all day today trying to induce. We got the strong painful contractions, but not the dialation, eventually the doctor said enough and Jonathan is here! Because of the lack of private rooms Edith is in a room with a second bed, and although nobody is in that bed hospital rules say I can't stay the night. So I am home, eating some Taco Bell, and posting this. I will be back at the hospital early tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your prayers.

One last visit

Saturday night we went to walk around Disneyland one last time before Baby Williams came. We got a couple cinnamon rolls from the bakery and watched the fireworks. We visit Disneyland a lot, obviously, once every couple weeks at the least. NEVER...NEVER...NEVER, has anybody just walking by say, "hey you want me to take a picture of the two of you?". In this short visit two different people asked if we would like a picture together. I told Edith that she and the baby deserved all the credit. Both times it was a women, and after taking the picture they said something like "congratulations".

No baby as of right now, so it is starting to look more and more likely that we will be going in this Monday to start the process of inducing for Tuesday morning.

Big update..but still no baby

So here is the biggest update in the history of the blog. If Edith doesn't give birth by Monday night, we will be going to the hospital so that on Tuesday they will induce labor. The baby is just getting so big they don't want to wait any more. So there it is, October 2nd or before Baby Williams will be here.

Here are some pictures from baby showers Edith has had.

A gallon of water.

Just over 8 pounds, that is the estimated size right now of baby williams. Pretty big, hopefully as he continues to grow he won't get too big and cause problems. He is already pretty pushy, or so Edith tells me. Just continue to keep us in your prayers.

My Chubby Little Boy

Hot off the presses, the latest, and what should be the last ultrasound picture. I know it is a bit like where's waldo so here is the closeup of his face.

Just a couple things

Only 3 weeks to go, unless the baby decides to show up early. Edith had a baby shower at work, which was very nice.

Edith is now done with work until she returns awhile after the baby comes.

Doctor appointments are every week, an ultrasound this coming Tuesday.

In ME news, it was my birthday on Saturday. We went to Disneyland and had dinner at the Blue Bayou. Edith made me go to City Hall and get a button that said Happy Birthday...well she didn't MAKE me...but she took me!

Of course then we left and I stopped at Ralphs to pick up some stuff. Not till I was walking out did I notice that I still had on my pin. Nobody said anything, but I felt like a GOOF!

This is Chiquita when she was "playing" with Bella the other night.
